Ok, I'll chime in.
Mine is the Soroc IQ 120. I lusted after some big assed DECwriter
teletype in my high school computer science class but Mr. Novak wouldn't
let me have it no matter that it was dead, was no longer used to access
the school district mainframe, and that I begged him incessantly. When I
bought his killer Apple //e setup when school ended that summer he threw
in the Soroc because he knew I would like it. I used to love just
clacking away on that thing with no purpose other than to see the letters
come up on the screen.
I still have it. The first terminal of my collection. Now I have dozens.
What do ya know? Someone OCR'd the manual.
